Amouage

I was lucky and ordered the set of Amouage samples for 30 eoros+ 15 euros shipping. Recentley Amouage doubled the price for this nice set.

The most interesting, ant the one I would like to have - Amouage Gold for men.
Amouage Gold, Gold for men, Dia for women share the same idea. These three scents are done in classic French manner (No5, Joy, 1000). But they are not French, they have Arabic feeling.Dia for women is the most aldehydic and most feminine.
Gold for men is extremely rich, sultry, animalic, a bit dirty. You feel like a rich arab in harem while wearing Amouage Gold for men.

Dia for men - nice and dry. Like Cartier's Must for men.

Jubiliation for men - one of the best scents from the line. You can smell Duchaufor's signature notes. It's like arabic Borneo 1834.

I've tried Reflection for Men, Dia for Men, and Jubilation XXV. I wasn't overly impressed with the first two. I did like Jubilation XXV, but enough to shell out $290 for 100 ml? Ahhh ... no thanks, Amouage.

Re: Amouage

Dreamer II I agree with most of your findings. Having also purchased a sample set (one of the best presented sample sets out there), Gold and Dia for Men as well as Jubilation XXV were among my favourite discoveries of this year - but I just found Gold a little hard to wear! It's such a "big" fragrance. Having said that these scents are true marvels of classic perfumery where I can chart the clear progress from top to heart to base notes and smell individual notes as distinctly as hearing a clear bell ringing. That seems to me to indicate great technique from the perfumers and use of the highest quality ingredients. Given that, I reckon the price is reasonable when you consider the cost of some others out there in the market.
